Can't go wrong with either kit!

So glad Spooler got his car in there!

Just drove mine tonight. They are very good and do excellent with heat management. I really had to get after them to get them a little warm.

Installing mine later this week. Picked up a set of gray OE rear calipers to make things match a little nicer, since I have red calipers.

Agree! Z1 2 piece rotors are totally garbage for track days. I warped 3 sets. Two of them warped in 2 days and 1 warped just in 3 sessions.
They are OK for street driving. But stay away from Z1 2 piece rotors if you are serious about tracking.

I upgraded to AP9668 with 372mm rotors using the bracket DarkJak provided. It solve the problem completely. It handled 30+ hard track days even without ducts.

Finally, a real motorsport grade kit for this car. With cooling, these rotors are going to last a long, long time.

I added the Gray OE rear caliper to give it matching color setup, instead of the red rear caliper. Turned out great.
